Today I show you my shame

OMG, have mercy on me. I decided to come clean and show you my shame, the reason for sleepless nights, among other things. Almost 3 months ago we bought a property with a little shop, a workshop for my husband and a little house that needed so much improvement in the esthetics. We went head on. We changed pretty much everything and I knew I didn't want to move into a project home. We owned another home in Killeen and we decided to keep it since trying to be sellers was going to be too much. Then I started the process from moving out of my old building. I went from over 3ooo sf to only 1200. We trash, clean, sold , gave away like madmen. I moved the inventory I wanted to keep into the new building, the main purpose to get it out of the old location. This is how my shop looks today. I'm going mad, last week I spend the whole week painting, about 30 pieces. The question now is where I'm going to put it all. I have a mental block, I'm in a funk and I don't know how to get out of it.








 Ok, part 2 of the mess. Remember him. This is Juju and he has grown fast. Problem is that he is not potty trained and for a month now have used my floors as a gigantic toilet. I have used a hole gallon of clorox within a week. Pooh everywhere. So, he is in jail until he get it. I have to get up in the cold, odd hours, too much time that I don't necessarily have but that I want to invest in him since he got my heart already. He is just a spoiled baby. I said shame in the mama that does not know what she is doing. So I google info on how to train and that is what I'm doing. Fun, ah?.

                                                            Juju and my mom's Peluche

  His favorite thing is to roll in the dirt and dig. I have to bathed him 2 to 3 times a week. I hope his hair won't fall off from so much shampoo.



                                            Have you ever seen a saddest face. Sniff....

                                     As you can see Juju has a big nose, he is so cute.


Soooo, send me a fairy-godmother with a big wand to make it all fall into place. Next step, the loony bin. Blessings , Marta.
